Awareness of Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, and Diabetes Mellitus and Associated Characteristics in Russian Adults. Int J Hypertens 2024; 2024:8542671. [PMID: 38567246 PMCID: PMC10985646 DOI: 10.1155/2024/8542671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Russia has higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality compared to other European countries. The major CVD risk factors are age, male sex, and three conditions, namely hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to assess awareness of these three conditions among Russian adults (N = 3803) and the associated socio-demographic, lifestyle, and health characteristics. We used cross-sectional data from a randomly drawn population-based sample of Russians aged 35-69 years, who participated in the Know Your Heart (KYH) study conducted in Arkhangelsk and Novosibirsk between 2015-2018. Participants' self-reported awareness of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and DM was assessed against the measures at the KYH health check (blood pressure, cholesterol, HbA1c and/or use of medication for each condition). Prevalence estimates for the awareness were age- and sex-standardized to the Standard European Population. Socio-demographic, lifestyle, and health-related correlates of the awareness were investigated using logistic regression modelling. Among participants with hypertension (N = 2206), hypercholesterolemia (N = 3171), and DM (N = 329) recorded at a health check, 79%, 45%, and 61% self-reported these conditions, respectively. Higher awareness of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension was associated with older age, female sex, nonsmoking status, obesity, and history of CVD diagnoses. Low household income and history of CVD diagnoses were associated with being aware of DM. The awareness rates of hypertension were relatively high, whereas awareness rates of hypercholesterolemia and DM were relatively low. CVD prevention and early intervention could be improved in Russia through increasing the awareness of the risk factors.

Epidemiology and Prevalence of Dyslipidemia Among Adult Population of Tehran: The Tehran Cohort Study. ARCHIVES OF IRANIAN MEDICINE 2024; 27:51-61. [PMID: 38619028 PMCID: PMC11017263 DOI: 10.34172/aim.2024.10] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia is among the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with an increasing global burden, especially in developing countries. We investigated the prevalence of dyslipidemia and abnormal lipid profiles in Tehran. METHODS We used data from 8072 individuals aged≥35 from the Tehran Cohort Study (TeCS) recruitment phase. Fasting serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride were measured. Dyslipidemia was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, and high LDL/HDL was defined as a ratio>2.5. The age-sex standardized prevalence rates were calculated based on the 2016 national census. Furthermore, the geographical distribution of dyslipidemia and lipid abnormalities was investigated across Tehran's zip code districts. RESULTS The age-sex standardized prevalence was 82.7% (95% CI: 80.1%, 85.0%) for dyslipidemia, 36.9% (95% CI: 33.8%, 40.1%) for hypertriglyceridemia, 22.5% (95% CI: 19.9%, 25.4%) for hypercholesterolemia, 29.0% (95% CI: 26.1%, 32.1%) for high LDL-C, 55.9% (95% CI: 52.6%, 59.2%) for low HDL-C, and 54.1% (95% CI: 50.9%, 57.3%) for high LDL/HDL ratio in the Tehran adult population. The prevalence of dyslipidemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL/HDL ratio was higher in the northern regions, hypercholesterolemia was higher in the southern half, and high LDL-C was more prevalent in the middle-northern and southern areas of Tehran. CONCLUSION We found a high prevalence of dyslipidemia, mainly high LDL/HDL in the Tehran adult population. This dyslipidemia profiling provides important information for public health policy to improve preventive interventions and reduce dyslipidemiarelated morbidity and mortality in the future.

Concordance/discordance between serum apolipoprotein B, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol in NATPOL 2011 participants - An epidemiological perspective. Int J Cardiol 2023; 390:131150. [PMID: 37429441 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.131150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study compared the distribution of serum LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and apolipoprotein B (apoB) among participants of the NATPOL 2011 survey and analysed concordance/discordance of results in the context of the risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). METHODS Serum levels of apoB, LDL-C, non-HDL-C and small dense LDL-C were measured/calculated in 2067-2098 survey participants. The results were compared between women and men, age groups and in relation to body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose and TG levels, and the presence of CVD. Percentile distribution of lipid levels and concordance/discordance analysis were based on medians and ESC/EAS 2019 target thresholds for ASCVD risk and on comparison of measured apoB levels and levels calculated from linear regression equations with serum LDL- C and non-HDL-C as independent variables. RESULTS Serum apoB, LDL-C and non-HDL-C were similarly related to sex, age, BMI, visceral obesity, cardiovascular disease, and fasting glucose and triglyceride levels. Serum apoB, LDL-C and non-HDL-C very high- and moderate- target thresholds were exceeded in 83%, 99% and 96.9% and in 41%, 75% and 63.7% of subjects, respectively. The incidence of the discordances between the results depended on the dividing values used and ranged from 0.2% to 45.2% of the respondents. Subjects with high apoB / low LDL-C/non-HDL-C discordance had features of metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic discordances between apoB and LDL-C/non-HDL-C indicate limitations of serum LDL-C/non-HDL-C in ASCVD risk management. Due to the high apoB/low LDL-C/non-HDL-C discordance, obese/metabolic syndrome patients may benefit from replacing LDL-C/non-HDL-C by apoB in ASCVD risk assessment and lipid-lowering therapy.

Abstract
METHOD The study involved 905 patients after coronary interventions, qualified for invasive diagnosis due to symptomatic coronary disease. AIM The aim of this study was to check the implementation of recommendations on the control of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in patients undergoing re-interventions. RESULTS Compared to elderly persons, younger people more often increased their physical activity (62 vs. 65 years, p = 0.009), stopped smoking (61 vs. 65 years, p < 0.001) and reduced alcohol consumption (62 vs. 65 years, p = 0.001). People with secondary and higher education increased their physical activity more often than those with primary education (51%, 31% vs. 23%, p = 0.006). Men more often than women decided to limit their alcohol consumption (48% vs. 37%, p = 0.007). Patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome were more likely to quit smoking and reduce their alcohol consumption than those without such a history (47% vs. 37%, p = 0.003 and 42% vs. 34%, p = 0.020, respectively). Only 2% of the subjects achieved the recommended LDL cholesterol values. Forty-eight percent were qualified for reinvasive procedures on the coronary arteries. Less than half of the patients undertook health-promoting behaviors that required modification of existing habits. CONCLUSION Age, gender, and education level influence pro-health behaviors. The majority of patients do not achieve the levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides consistent with the ESC guidelines in the secondary prevention of coronary disease. Inadequate check of risk factors may result in faster disease progression and coronary re-interventions.

Determinants of Lipid Parameters in Patients without Diagnosed Cardiovascular Disease-Results of the Polish Arm of the EUROASPIRE V Survey. J Clin Med 2023; 12:2738. [PMID: 37048821 PMCID: PMC10095493 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
To assess the determinants of lipid parameters in primary care patients without diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD), a cross-sectional study was conducted during 2018-2019 with a total of 200 patients. The following lipid parameters were measured: total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), small, dense LDL (sdLDL-C), and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)). Predictors of elevated and adequately controlled lipid parameters were assessed with logistic regression analysis. Older age was related to higher risk of TC ≥ 6.2 mmol/L [OR 1.03 (95% CI 1.0-1.05)], sdLDL-C ≥ 1.0 mmol/L [OR 1.05 (95% CI 1.0-1.1)], and decreased risk of Lp(a) ≥ 50 mg/dL [OR 0.97 (95% CI 0.94-0.99)]. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) had increased probability of TG ≥ 2.25 mmol/L [OR 3.77 (95% CI 1.34-10.6)] and Lp(a) ≥ 50 mg/dL [OR 2.97 (1.34-6.10)] as well as adequate control of TG and Lp(a). Higher material status was related to lower risk of TC ≥ 6.2 mmol/L [OR 0.19 (95% CI 0.04-0.82)] and LDL-C ≥ 3.6 mmol/L [OR 0.33 (95% CI 0.12-0.92)]. High BMI was related to increased [OR 1.14 (95% CI 1.02-1.29)], and female gender [OR 0.33 (95% CI 0.12-0.96)] and hypertension [OR 0.29 (95% CI 0.1-0.87)] to decreased risk of TG ≥ 2.25 mmol/L [OR 1.14 (95% CI 1.02-1.29)]. Taking lipid-lowering drugs (LLD) was associated with LDL-C < 2.6 mmol/L [OR 2.1 (95% CI 1.05-4.19)] and Lp(a) < 30 mg/dL [OR 0.48 (95% CI 0.25-0.93)]. Physical activity was related to LDL-C < 2.6 mmol/L [OR 2.02 (95% CI 1.02-3.98)]. Higher abdominal circumference was associated with decreased risk of TG < 1.7 mmol/L [OR 0.96 (95% CI 0.93-0.99)]. Elevated lipid parameters were related to age, gender, material status, BMI, history of DM, and hypertension. Adequate control was associated with age, education, physical activity, LLD, history of DM, and abdominal circumference.

Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, and associated risk factors in the Czech Republic, Russia, Poland and Lithuania: a cross-sectional study. BMC Public Health 2022; 22:883.

Abstract
Background Empirical evidence on the epidemiology of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia is limited in many countries in Central and Eastern Europe. We aimed to estimate the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia in the Czech Republic, Russia, Poland and Lithuania, and to identify the risk factors for the three chronic conditions. Methods We analysed cross-sectional data from the HAPIEE study, including adults aged 45–69 years in the Czech Republic, Russia, Poland and Lithuania, collected between 2002 and 2008 (total sample N = 30,882). Among prevalent cases, we estimated awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia by gender and country. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify associated risk factors. Results In each country among both men and women, we found high prevalence but low control of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Awareness rates of hypertension were the lowest in both men (61.40%) and women (69.21%) in the Czech Republic, while awareness rates of hypercholesterolemia were the highest in both men (46.51%) and women (51.20%) in Poland. Polish participants also had the highest rates of awareness (77.37% in men and 79.53% in women), treatment (71.99% in men and 74.87% in women) and control (30.98% in men and 38.08% in women) of diabetes. The common risk factors for the three chronic conditions were age, gender, education, obesity and alcohol consumption. Conclusions Patterns of awareness, treatment and control rates of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia differed by country. Efforts should be made in all four countries to control these conditions, including implementation of international guidelines in everyday practice to improve detection and effective management of these conditions.

Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is among the most common dyslipidemias seen in clinical practice. Studies in recent years have demonstrated a causal relationship between triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is primarily due to enhanced atherogenicity of cholesterol-enriched remnants, the metabolic byproducts of TRLs. Other factors influencing atherogenicity of TRLs include apolipoprotein CIII-directed proinflammatory signaling pathways and triglyceride enrichment of low-density lipoprotein that results in overabundance of small dense atherogenic particles within a prooxidative milieu that serves as the gateway for unregulated incorporation by vascular wall macrophages. HTG is caused by familial and metabolic disorders as well as selected medications that impair TRL hydrolysis.

Abstract
Objectives Patients with seronegative spondyloarthritis (SpA) – psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) – have a higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence and type of dyslipidemia, a potent atherosclerosis risk factor, in SpA patients. Material and methods It was a two-center, case-control study. Patients diagnosed with PsA and AS aged 23–60 years, with disease duration < 10 years, were enrolled. The inflammatory activity, serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipid profile were evaluated in each patient. In patients > 40 years old, the 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD), using Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), was estimated. Results In total 79 patients with SpA were included in the study, with PsA diagnosed, n = 39 (mean age 45.1 ±9.6 years; 21, 53.9%, women), and with AS diagnosed, n = 40 (age 40.3 ±9.5; 12.3%, women), control group (CG): n = 88 (age 42.3 ±8.1; 42, 47.7% women). Based on the interview and laboratory tests, dyslipidemia was diagnosed in 19 (47.5%) patients with AS and in 28 (71.8%) patients with PsA. Most patients had hypercholesterolemia or mixed hyperlipidemia. Types of dyslipidemia were similar. In SpA patients (PsA and AS), the level of triglycerides (TG) and atherogenic index (AI) were significantly higher than in the CG, respectively TG in SpA: 116 (83–156) and in the CG: 91.2 (72.6–134.6) mg/dl, p = 0.0182; AI in SpA: 3.77 ±1.26 and in the CG: 2.58 ±1.27, p < 0.0001. The low-density cholesterol (LDL) level was significantly lower in SpA patients than in the CG, SpA: 109.1 ±29.4 vs. CG: 125.2 ±35.9 mg/dl, p = 0.0023. There was a strong negative correlation between CRP levels and HDL cholesterol levels in patients with PsA, rho = 0.42, p = 0.0132. Mean SCORE values were 2.33% in PsA patients and 2.38% in AS patients, which results in moderate 10-year risk of death from CVD. Conclusions In young patients with spondyloarthropathies, inflammatory factors significantly influence dyslipidemia patterns, which result in higher TG and lower LDL cholesterol levels. In patients with PsA, dyslipidemia was diagnosed more often than in patients with AS.

Abstract
In Poland there are still nearly 20 million individuals with hypercholesterolaemia, most of them are unaware of their condition; that is also why only ca. 5% of patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia have been diagnosed; that is why other rare cholesterol metabolism disorders are so rarely diagnosed in Poland. Let us hope that these guidelines, being an effect of work of experts representing 6 main scientific societies, as well as the network of PoLA lipid centers being a part of the EAS lipid centers, certification of lipidologists by PoLA, or the growing number of centers for rare diseases, with a network planned by the Ministry of Health, improvements in coordinated care for patients after myocardial infarction (KOS-Zawał), reimbursement of innovative agents, as well as introduction in Poland of an effective primary prevention program, will make improvement in relation to these unmet needs in diagnostics and treatment of lipid disorders possible.

Berent D, Skoneczny M, Macander M, Wojnar M. The association among health behaviors, shift work and chronic morbidity: A cross-sectional study on nurses working in full-time positions. J Public Health Res 2021; 11. [PMID: 34351093 PMCID: PMC8847952 DOI: 10.4081/jphr.2021.2099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Nurses are known to work in conditions of stress and physical overload. Health behaviors are modifiable factors that may reduce the adverse effects of work on general health. The present study examined health-related behaviors and their association with current night shift work and chronic morbidity among female nurses. Design and Method: Four hundred seventy-two female nurses (M ± SD = 44.28±7.14 years) self-reported their health habits, physical activity, body mass index (BMI), and chronic disorders that required current treatment. Instruments used in the study consisted of an author-developed questionnaire and the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI). Reported diagnoses were classified as cardio-vascular, gastro-intestinal, malignant neoplastic, endocrine, or other. Results: The most common reported disorders were cardiovascular disorders (5.7% of nurses) followed by other (7.6%), endocrine (7.4%), gastro-intestinal (6.4%), and malignancy (0.2%). On average, health-related behaviors on the HBI were average (83.49 ± 14.33). Overweight and/or obesity (i.e., BMI ≥25 kg/m2) were reported by 41.5% of nurses, 24.2% were current smokers, and 36% reported no recreational physical activity. The remaining 64% of nurses who performed physical activity did not report activity levels that met World Health Organization recommendations. Physical activity and HBI scores (total and subscales; i.e., positive attitude, preventive behaviors, proper dietary habits, health-related practices) were not associated with current night shift work or morbidity. Conclusion: Health-promoting programs are needed to support weight control and promote health-related behaviors among nurses. Future research should identify potential barriers to healthy lifestyle recommendations in the workplace. Significance for public health International studies suggest that strategies are needed to prevent adverse health outcomes among nurses. This study examined health behaviors and their association with current night shift work and chronic morbidity among female nurses. We found, i.e.: health behaviors were average, overweight and/or obesity were reported by 41.5% of nurses, 24.2% were current smokers, over 33% reported at least one currently treated chronic disorder, and 36% reported no recreational physical activity. Health behaviors were not associated with current shift work and chronic, currently treated, disorders. Our findings indicate that health-promoting programs are needed to support weight control and promote health-related behaviors among nurses. Although knowledge about health promotion and health behaviors does not always transfer to nurses’ own behaviors, future research should also identify potential barriers to healthy lifestyle recommendations in the nurses’ workplace.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in Poland. Starting from 1992, a gradual decrease in mortality due to CVDs has been observed, which is less noticeable in women. Following this notion, we assessed sex differences in the implementation of ESC recommendations regarding lipid control and the use of statins as part of secondary CVDs prevention in 1236 patients with acute coronary syndrome or elective coronary revascularization within the last 6-24 months. During hospitalization women had more frequently abnormal TC levels than men (p = 0.035), with overall higher TC levels (p = 0.009) and lower HDL-C levels (p = 0.035). In the oldest group, they also had more frequently elevated LDL-C levels (p = 0.033). Similar relationships were found during the follow-up visit. In addition, women less often achieved the secondary lipid therapeutic goal for non-HDL-C (p = 0.009). At discharge from hospital women were less frequently prescribed statins (p = 0.001), which included high-intensity statins (p = 0.002). At the follow-up visit the use of high-intensity statins was still less frequent in women (p = 0.02). We conclude that women generally have less optimal lipid profiles than men and are less likely to receive high-intensity statins. There is a need for more organized care focused on the management of risk factors.

A Similar Lifetime CV Risk and a Similar Cardiometabolic Profile in the Moderate and High Cardiovascular Risk Populations: A Population-Based Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081584. [PMID: 33918620 PMCID: PMC8069041 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10081584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major, worldwide problem that remains the dominant cause of premature mortality in the world, and increasing rates of dysglycaemia are a major contributor to its development. The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiometabolic profile among patients in particular cardiovascular risk classes, and to estimate their long term CV risk. METHODS A total of 931 individuals aged 20-79 were included. The study population was divided into CV risk classes according to the latest European Society of Cardiology recommendations. RESULTS Most of the analyzed anthropometric, body composition and laboratory parameters did not differ between the moderate and high CV risk participants. Interestingly, estimating the lifetime risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or CV death, using the LIFEtime-perspective model for individualizing CardioVascular Disease prevention strategies in apparently healthy people, yielded similar results in moderate and high CV risk classes. CONCLUSION The participants who belonged to moderate and high CV risk classes had very similar unfavorable cardiometabolic profiles, which may result in similar lifetime CV risk. This may imply the need for more aggressive pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of CV risk factors in the moderate CV risk population, who are often unaware of their situation. New prospective population studies are necessary to establish the true cardiovascular risk profiles in a changing society.

Clin Interv Aging 2020; 15:1979-1990. [PMID: 33116452 PMCID: PMC7585266 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s265993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2020] [Accepted: 08/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to analyze the severity of changes in cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, overweight and obesity, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, burdened family history) and to assess the risk of a cardiovascular incident according to the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) algorithm in the same group of patients over a five-year interval. Patients and Methods The research method was analysis of medical records of patients from the area of West Pomeranian Province, Poland, included in the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program of the National Health Fund five years after the first examination (2012/2013 vs 2017/2018). We collected data on changes in the levels of selected cardiovascular risk factors over five years and calculated the SCORE values. Results In the second measurement (after five years), the odds of obesity were about 2.5 times higher. The repeated BMI measurement showed that after five years more respondents were classified as overweight and obese compared with the first measurement (p = 0.000; η2 = 0.056). The repeated SCORE measurement indicated that after five years the SCORE values significantly increased compared with the first measurement (p = 0.000; η2 = 0.588). Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were also found between the first and the second measurements of arm circumference, waist circumference, BMI, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and triglycerides. The risk of visceral obesity was statistically significantly higher for men than for women (RHM = 1.47). Conclusion In the group of patients examined twice over five years, the incidence of obesity, including abdominal obesity, significantly increased. Furthermore, five years after the last examination, the risk of a cardiovascular incident significantly increased. The participants had higher values of such parameters as: arm circumference, waist circumference, BMI, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and triglycerides.

Abstract
The MIL-SCORE (Equalization of Accessibility to Cardiology Prophylaxis and Care for Professional Soldiers) program was designed to assess the prevalence and management of cardiovascular risk factors in a population of Polish soldiers. We aimed to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the MIL-SCORE population with respect to age. This observational cross-sectional study enrolled 6440 soldiers (97% male) who underwent a medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests to assess cardiovascular risk. Almost half of the recruited soldiers were past or current smokers (46%). A sedentary lifestyle was reported in almost one-third of those over 40 years of age. The prevalence of hypertension in a subgroup over 50 years of age was almost 45%. However, the percentage of unsatisfactory blood pressure control was higher among soldiers below 40 years of age. The prevalence of overweight and obese soldiers increased with age and reached 58% and 27%, respectively, in those over 50 years of age. Total cholesterol was increased in over one-half of subjects, and the prevalence of abnormal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was even higher (60%). Triglycerides were increased in 36% of soldiers, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hyperglycemia were reported in 13% and 16% of soldiers, respectively. In the >50 years of age subgroup, high and very high cardiovascular risk scores were observed in almost one-third of soldiers. The relative risk assessed in younger subgroups was moderate or high. The results from the MIL-SCORE program suggest that Polish soldiers have multiple cardiovascular risk factors and mirror trends seen in the general population. Preventive programs aimed at early cardiovascular risk assessment and modification are strongly needed in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM General population awareness about cardiovascular risk factors is usually low. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the vascular aging of subjects aware and not aware to be hypertensive, hypercholesterolemic, hypertriglyceridemic or diabetics in a general population sample. METHODS AND RESULTS We interviewed 1652 subjects without atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (M: 46.6%, F: 53.4%) about their awareness of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia or type 2 diabetes. Then we compared the augmentation index and pulse wave velocity of subjects aware and not aware of the investigated cardiovascular risk factors. 1049 participants declared not to be hypertensive, while 32 were not sure. Among them, respectively, 23.5% and 50% were hypertensive. Subjects not aware of their hypertension had significantly higher aortic blood pressure than aware ones (p < 0.001). 841 participants declared not to be hypercholesterolemic, while 60 were not sure. Among them, respectively, 18.1% and 40% were hypercholesterolemic. Subjects not aware of their hypercholesterolemia had significantly higher augmentation index than the aware ones (p < 0.05). 1226 participants declared not to be hypertriglyceridemic, while 200 were not sure. Among them, respectively, 19.2% and 44% were hypertriglyceridemic. Subjects not aware of their hypertriglyceridemia had significantly higher TG levels aware ones (p < 0.05), although this seemed to not related to increased arterial stiffness. 1472 participants declared not to be diabetic, while 20 were not sure. Among them, respectively, 2.0% and 25.0% were diabetics. Subjects not aware of their diabetes had significantly higher augmentation index than the aware ones (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the lack of awareness of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia is relatively frequent in the general population and is associated to significantly higher arterial stiffness.

Abstract
AIMS To describe the real-world prevalence and consequences of hypertriglyceridaemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched two large patient databases, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2007-2014) and the Optum Research Database, as well as electronic medical records from two Kaiser Permanente regions. RESULTS The NHANES data showed that ~26% of US adults, including nearly one-third of statin users, had at least borderline hypertriglyceridaemia (triglycerides [TGs] ≥1.69 mmol/L), and ~40% of adults with diabetes had levels of ≥150 mg/dL despite statin use. The Optum analyses demonstrated that those with TG levels ≥1.69 mmol/L who were on statins had a significantly increased risk of composite initial major cardiovascular (CV) events (hazard ratio [HR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-1.34; P < 0.001 vs. patients with TGs <150 mg/dL). This was accompanied by increased healthcare utilization and direct healthcare costs (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08-1.16; P < 0.001). In the analyses of the Kaiser Permanente records, patients with diabetes and TG levels 2.26-5.64 mmol/L had significantly higher adjusted incidence rates of non-fatal myocardial infarction (rate ratio 1.30, 95% CI 1.08-1.58; P = 0.006), non-fatal stroke (rate ratio 1.23; 95% CI 1.01-1.49; P = 0.037) and coronary revascularization (rate ratio 1.21; 95% CI 1.02-1.43; P = 0.027), but not unstable angina (rate ratio 1.33; 95% CI 0.87-2.03; P = 0.185) compared with patients with TG levels <1.69 mmol/L. CONCLUSIONS Real-world analyses suggest that elevated TGs are prevalent and commonly associated with increased CV risk. CV outcomes trials in patients with established hypertriglyceridaemia will clarify whether strategies to reduce TG levels can ameliorate residual CV risk in patients taking statins.

Lower than average HDL cholesterol efflux capacity in Lithuanian population. Lipids Health Dis 2019; 18:186. [PMID: 31655593 PMCID: PMC6815013 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-019-1124-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2019] [Accepted: 09/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of our study was to evaluate high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) efflux capacity in healthy controls and patients with severe dyslipidemia. Evaluation of HDL function may be beneficial for better understanding of cardiovascular diseases, as well as for taking actions to minimize residual cardiovascular risk. Methods During 2016–2017 a total of 93 participants – 48 (51.6%) women and 45 (48.4%) men – were included in this cross-sectional study. Data of 45 (48.4%) participants with severe dyslipidemia (SD) and 48 (51.6%) controls without dyslipidemia was used for statistical analysis. Total lipid panel, concentration of lipoprotein (a) and apolipoproteins were measured, data about cardiovascular risk factors were collected and detailed evaluation of HDL-C quality was performed for all patients. Results Increased HDL-C concentration was associated with higher ApoA1 (r = 0.866 in controls, r = 0.63 in SD group), ApoA2 (r = 0.41 in controls, r = 0.418 in SD group) and LDL-C concentrations (r = − 0.412 in SD group), lower ApoE (r = − 0.314 in SD group) and TG concentrations (r = − 0.38 in controls, r = − 0.608 in SD group), lower ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (r = − 0.567 in control group), below average HDL-C efflux capacity (r = − 0.335 in SD group), lower BMI (r = − 0.327 in controls, r = − 0.531 in SD group) and abdominal circumference (r = − 0.309 in women with SD). Below-average HDL-C efflux capacity was found in 67.7% (N = 63) of participants. It was more often found among patients with normal weight or BMI 30–31 kg/m2. HDL-C efflux capacity was inversely associated with HDL-C concentration (r = − 0.228). Conclusion Abnormal HDL function may be associated with residual cardiovascular risk in Lithuanian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Roma population has a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, higher mortality, and shorter life expectancy. It is found in the largest number in Romania, but published data are still scarce here. We studied cardiovascular risk factors and disease along with target organ damage on a population of Roma inhabitants from Bucharest, Romania. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 806 Roma subjects (18-83 years), in a community-based participatory research manner. Demographics included anthropometric data, a questionnaire on social status, education, medical history, and health deleterious behaviors. Medical evaluation included clinical examination, blood pressure, ankle-brachial index, pulse wave velocity measurements, blood tests (complete blood count, lipid profile, glucose, creatinine, uric acid), dip-stick microalbuminuria, dilated fundoscopy, ECG, and echocardiography. RESULTS Prevalence of all cardiovascular risk factors was high, peaking in abnormal lipid metabolism (82.13%), heavy smoking (63.02% including ex-smokers) and obesity (50.99%). The first and the latter were actually similar to the general population in Romania. Almost half of subjects were at high or very high risk for fatal cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS The study shows that the Roma population in a more affluent region in Romania shares a similarly high cardiovascular burden to their surrounding community.

Abstract
Background Hypertension is considered to be the most common condition in the general population. It is the most important risk factor for premature deaths in the world. Treatment compliance at every stage is a condition for successful antihypertensive therapy, and improving the effectiveness of treatment is a major goal in preventing cardiovascular incidents. Treatment noncompliance and lack of cooperation stem from numerous problems of older age, including frailty syndrome. Objective To evaluate the effect of frailty syndrome on treatment compliance in older patients with hypertension. Methods The study sample consisted of 160 patients (91 women, 69 men) with hypertension aged 65 to 78 (mean = 72.09, SD = 7.98 years), hospitalized at the University Clinical Hospital due to exacerbation of disease symptoms. Standardised research tools were used: the Tilburg Frailty Indicator questionnaire and the questionnaire for the assessment of treatment compliance in patients with hypertension, the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale. Results Frailty syndrome was diagnosed in 65.62% of patients: 35.62% with mild, 29.38% with moderate, and 0.62% with severe frailty. The treatment compliance was 36.14%. The prevalence of the FS and its three components (physical, psychological, social) significantly affected (p <0.05) the global score of the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale and all subscales: “reduced sodium intake”, “appointment keeping”, and “antihypertensive medication taking”. Conclusions The coexistence of frailty syndrome has a negative impact on the compliance of older patients with hypertension. Diagnosis of frailty and of the associated difficulties in adhering to treatment may allow for targeting the older patients with a poorer prognosis and at risk of complications from untreated or undertreated hypertension and for planning interventions to improve hypertension control.

Impact of oscillatory-cycloid vibration interventions on body composition, waist and hip circumference, and blood lipid profile in women aged over 65 years with hypercholesterolaemia. MENOPAUSE REVIEW 2018; 17:161-167. [PMID: 30766463 PMCID: PMC6372848 DOI: 10.5114/pm.2018.81739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2018] [Accepted: 12/10/2018] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Vibration therapy interventions are an attractive alternative for people with contraindications to physical activity or manifesting kinesiophobia; they constitute an equivalent to physical activity. Material and methods A group of female volunteers with hypercholesterolemia (LDL over 3 mmol/l) aged over 65 years were randomized into 2 subgroups: the study group (taking part in interventions on mattresses generating oscillatory-cycloid vibrations) and the control group (receiving interventions on placebo mattresses). All the subjects underwent two 30-minute interventions 5 times a week for the period of 21 days, in the prone position. Before the intervention and after completing the series of sessions, body composition and waist and hip circumferences were assessed. Venous blood for biochemical studies was collected before the intervention, one day after its completion, and one week after completing the series of vibration sessions. On the basis of the lipid profile results, atherogenicity indices were calculated. Results After 21 days, a statistically significant decrease in the level of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol was observed in subjects who received oscillatory-cycloid vibration therapy. No statistically significant changes were noted in the concentrations of HDL cholesterol or triglycerides. The 21-day therapeutic intervention also resulted in lowering the AIP in the study group, as well as a decrease of hip circumference. Conclusions Oscillatory-cycloid vibration applied regularly for a longer time can beneficially impact on lowering the level of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in people with hypercholesterolemia, although it does not influence body composition in women aged 65 years or more.

Characteristics of lipid profile and effectiveness of management of dyslipidaemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes - Data from the TERCET registry with 19,287 patients. Pharmacol Res 2018; 139:460-466. [PMID: 30527895 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2018.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2018] [Revised: 12/05/2018] [Accepted: 12/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Despite well-defined therapeutic low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target in the highest-risk population, low percentage of patients is administered with intensive lipid-lowering therapy and achieves recommended levels. Therefore, based on the Hyperlipidaemia Therapy in tERtiary Cardiological cEnTer (TERCET) Registry data we investigated the characteristics of lipid profile and management of dyslipidemia in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. 19,287 consecutive patients hospitalized between 2006 and 2016 have been included in the study. The lipid profile on admission and long-term laboratory effects (namely the efficacy of achievement of the therapeutic target of LDL-C <70 mg/dl [1.8 mmol/L]) after follow-up of twelve months were assessed. Acute coronary syndromes occurred in 36.1% of the Registry patients including 14.3% with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), 10.2% with NSTEMI and 9,9% with unstable angina (UA). The highest LDL-C concentration on admission was observed in the STEMI subgroup (mean level: 127.0 mg/dL [3.28 mmol/L]). In 76.6% of the Registry patients LDL-C concentration was lower than 130 mg/dL and in 20.7% was lower than 70 mg/dL at baseline. The patients with baseline LDL < 70 mg/dL were usually presented with the worst clinical profile. In 91,6% of the patients admitted due to acute coronary syndrome, statin treatment was administered at discharge. Among them, 37.6% received intensive statin therapy. In the 12-month follow-up, in 32.4% of patients admitted due to STEMI, LDL-C concentration was lower than 70 mg/dL, compared to 29.9% in patients with NSTEMI and 27.8% in patients with UA. In conclusion, STEMI patients are less clinically burdened with concomitant risk factors and comorbidities, but present significantly worse baseline lipid profile values. Among the patients already treated with statins, patients with ACS regardless of its type have significantly higher LDL-C than patients with SA. Despite discrepancies in the clinical profile on admission, achievement of the therapeutic target equalizes the outcomes in 12-month follow-up, however with the best results for STEMI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypercholesterolemia is one of the modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Prevention and treatment of hypercholesterolemia and other lipid abnormalities require reliable data regarding the current prevalence of these abnormalities in the country. OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine the current prevalence, awareness, and treatment of lipid abnormalities in Iran. METHODS We planned to recruit 31,050 individuals who are 18 years old and above and take blood samples from individuals who are 25 years and above as representative sample at national and provincial levels in 2016. In practice, we recruited 21,293 Iranian adult aged more than 25 years through a systematic random sampling from 30 provinces of Iran. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle data and history of cardiometabolic diseases were gathered. Serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and non-HDL-C were investigated. The prevalence of lipid abnormalities, awareness, treatment, and achievement to non-HDL-C and LDL-C goals were determined based on National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. RESULTS In this representative Iranian adult population, 80.0% had at least one lipid abnormality, 69.2% had low HDL-C, 39.5% had high non-HDL-C, 28.0% had hypertriglyceridemia, and 26.7% hypercholesterolemia. Of those with hypercholesterolemia, 74.2% were aware of their lipid abnormality. Only 22.0% and 36.5% of the study population met the desired level of non-HDL-C and LDL-C, respectively. CONCLUSION Low HDL-C is the main lipid abnormality in adult Iranian population. The majority of the population did not meet the desired level of non-HDL-C and LDL-C. Public health preventive policies should be made and implemented to better manage dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Background Nonadherence to medical treatment and lack of cooperation in hypertensive patients >65 years of age are believed to be caused by a number of age-related problems, such as cognitive impairment. Numerous epidemiological and prospective studies have demonstrated that hypertension that remains untreated for many years or is unsuccessfully treated for reasons such as poor compliance and adherence of the patient may lead to cognitive impairment. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence of cognitive impairment and its effect on treatment compliance and adherence in elderly hypertensive patients. Design This study was an analytical cross-sectional study. Patients and methods The study was conducted on 300 patients aged 65-91 years (mean age=71.8 years, SD=7.8 years) diagnosed with hypertension. The following research tools were used: 1) Hill-Bone High Blood Pressure Compliance Scale (HBCS) and 2) Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). We also analyzed medical documentation to obtain basic sociodemographic and clinical data. The study was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Medical University of Wrocław (no KB-144/2016). Results Cognitive impairment occurred in 60% of the patients. A group of 63% patients complied with antihypertensive therapy, with the mean score of 20.8 points. Cognitive impairment was strongly correlated with the total score of the HBCS questionnaire (p<0.001) and two of its subscales: "appointment keeping" (p<0.001) and "medication taking" (p<0.001). Conclusion Compliance and adherence levels are higher in patients with a higher educational level, whereas male sex adversely affects treatment adherence in elderly hypertensive patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to find the genetic, metabolic, and nutritional risk factors, which can be associated with uric acid (UA) level. The risk factors related to uricemia were assessed among 271 postmenopausal women without cardiometabolic disorders and hypolipidemic/hypoglycemic treatment selected from a cohort of 1423 obese postmenopausal women. The bioimpedance analysis and biochemical and genetic analyses were performed in two groups characterized by serum UA ≥ 4 mg/dL (238 μmol/L) and < 4 mg/dL. The TaqMan-based real-time PCR method was applied to assess the role of Pro12Ala of peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma-2 and Trp64Arg of beta-3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB) polymorphisms. Women with UA level ≥ 4 mg/dL were characterized by larger body mass, triceps skinfold, waist circumference, body fat amount, and serum insulin, glucose, and triglyceride levels. There was no difference in dietary habits between the analyzed groups. Body mass, waist circumference, body fat amount, diastolic blood pressure, and serum insulin, glucose, high-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride levels, Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance, and energy from the dietary fat influence the UA level ≥ 4 mg/dL; however, the serum UA was not determined by Pro12Ala and Trp64Arg polymorphism analyses. The model of linear regression revealed that the group characterized by body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 and glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL has 4 times increased risk of UA level (p = 0.0009); after adding triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL, the risk of UA increased 7 times (p = 0.0216). Increasing the level of UA ≥ 4 mg/dL is associated with overweight, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia in women without a history of cardiometabolic disorders. A better management of metabolic factors could help prevent further increase in UA levels.

[PMID: 29258913 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2017.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2017] [Accepted: 12/15/2017] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
The use of statins in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia leads to a significant decrease in cardiovascular (CV) endpoints, and therapy effects are proportional to the reduction of cholesterol levels. In Poland, information about the effects of statin therapy is scarcely available. The information gathered in the Hyperlipidaemia Therapy in the tERtiary Cardiological cEnTer (TERCET) Registry on high-risk and very high-risk patients might improve our knowledge on this issue and help to introduce suitable activities. The main aim of the TERCET Registry is to achieve the target value of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) during a 1-year follow-up: LDL-C <70 mg/dL in very high-risk patients and LDL-C <100 mg/dL in high-risk patients. All consecutive patients with either stable coronary artery disease (sCAD) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have been included in the Registry, and the information on all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and planned or ACS-caused revascularisation have been being gathered within 12-month follow-up. At the moment, the TERCET Registry includes 14,873 patients (66.8% male) at an average age of 64.8 ± 10.2 with a significantly higher age of women (67.5 ± 10.3 vs. 63.5 ± 9.7; p < .001). The causes of hospitalisation were as the following: sCAD (n = 9375 patients, 63% of the investigated population), ST-elevated myocardial infarction (n = 2328 [15.6%]), non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (n = 1700 [11.4%]), and unstable coronary artery disease (n = 1466 [10%]). 62,7% (n = 9144) of the patients were diagnosed with hyperlipidaemia before hospital admission, with no significant difference between male and female patients. The TERCET registry will allow unveiling real lipid profiles of the high- and very-high risk patients treated in the tertiary hospital. The results may play an essential role in establishing the patients' future clinical outcomes and help to assess if the lipid lowering therapy modifications changed the occurrence of CV endpoints. The registry data will summarize the number of patients unable to reach their LDL-C goals, and who in the future might become candidates suitable for new hypolipidemic therapies (ID: NCT03065543).

Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the possible use of nutraceuticals to improve and optimize dyslipidemia control and therapy. Based on the data from available studies, nutraceuticals might help patients obtain theraputic lipid goals and reduce cardiovascular residual risk. Some nutraceuticals have essential lipid-lowering properties confirmed in studies; some might also have possible positive effects on nonlipid cardiovascular risk factors and have been shown to improve early markers of vascular health such as endothelial function and pulse wave velocity. However, the clinical evidence supporting the use of a single lipid-lowering nutraceutical or a combination of them is largely variable and, for many of the nutraceuticals, the evidence is very limited and, therefore, often debatable. The purpose of this position paper is to provide consensus-based recommendations for the optimal use of lipid-lowering nutraceuticals to manage dyslipidemia in patients who are still not on statin therapy, patients who are on statin or combination therapy but have not achieved lipid goals, and patients with statin intolerance. This statement is intended for physicians and other healthcare professionals engaged in the diagnosis and management of patients with lipid disorders, especially in the primary care setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between polymorphisms of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor - PPAR gamma-2 (Pro12Ala, C1431T) and beta 3-adrenergic receptor - ADRB3 (Trp64Arg) and dietary habits in a group of postmenopausal women who were not under hypolipidemic treatment. DESIGN Genetic, nutritional and anthropometric parameters were measured in 213 dyslipidemic (LDL ≥115 mg/dL) and 58 normolipidemic (LDL<115) postmenopausal women. The PCR-RFLP method were used to determine the distributions of selected alleles and genotype frequencies. Dietary intake of basic components and fatty acids was obtained from a 7-day weighed food record and the bio-impedance method was used to determine nutritional status. RESULTS Nearly 79% of analyzed women were in the first-time-diagnosed dyslipidemic state. The dyslipidemic subjects were characterized with higher intake of energy, fat, and saturated fatty acids (SFA). The analysis of the same polymorphisms showed association at the P value <0.05 with nutrients (fat, SFA, and polyunsaturated fatty acid - PUFA and saccharose) and elevated LDL level. Higher PUFA intake in a group of women with the protective Ala12/X polymorphism did not increase the risk of dyslipidemia even though they were characterized by visceral distribution of fat. The Arg64/X polymorphism and higher intake of energy, fat, and arachidic acid intake (C20:0) were associated with dyslipidemic state. CONCLUSION Both nutritional and genetic factors are related to lipid profile. The identification of gene-diet associations is likely to provide useful information about the etiology of postmenopausal dyslipidemia and help in effective treatment.
